Ten years ago, he and she fell in love and made a wish at Uig Bay in Scotland.
Ten years later, she stands before him. They look at each other, yet feel as distant as the sea and sky.
Ten years ago, he cried for her and rebelled, always imagining she might appear on some street corner.
Ten years later, she hesitates and agonizes over him, wishing time would turn back to that day by the sea.
While studying abroad, Cheng Tian had an enviable academic career and love life. But everything vanished after Christmas that year. After the breakup and losing his way, numbing himself with alcohol and gambling, he saw another version of himself. Women? Love? Those two words set different people on different paths: some laughed, some cried, and some casually pressed "Delete"...
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. Time had worn away everyone's edges, and Cheng Tian, like everyone else, had grown numb to the rhythm of middle age, repeating the same day 364 times over. Then, at an unexpected reunion, he saw her again. He had thought his heart was dead, only to discover nothing had changed. But she looked away, tears filling her eyes...
